I personally don’t feel like pushing a Shepherd release right now (I
have enough on my plate :-)), and note that, even when we’ve done that,
we won’t be able to rely on #:supplementary-groups right away because
users may still be running the older version.

All that said, I do agree that it’d be nice to have, mind you!

This isn’t pretty.  We should arrange to make
‘shepherd-root-service-type’ customizable so one can choose which
Shepherd package to use.

Thanks,
